TOBACCO-MOISTENING CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,789, dated August 13, 1889.

Application filed January 9, 1889.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR BEJAUH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Iinprovement in 'lobaeco-lvioistening Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide an economical and convenient cabinet for cigars which will preserve them in a suitably moist condition until used.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved device, having a portion broken away to show a moistening-chamber. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of a port-ion of a cabinet.

Arepresents the case of a tobacco moistening cabinet, in which are Vertical partitions a and horizontal slats or supporting-pieces (0' (t on which are mounted drawers 1; ii, in which the cigars are packed.

B is a cover placed over the drawer when v filled, and 1) an internal-revenue stamp. These drawers are preferably shorter than the depth of the case, leaving a chamber 0 between the back of the case and the drawers.

0 indicates stops or other suitable devices to prevent the drawers being pushed back into this chamber.

O is a chamber connected with, and which I prefer to make a part of, chamber 0, and is provided with a moistening device D for example, adampened sponge. blotter, or ielike. The object of the moistenmg-chamber C O is to allow the moistened air to come in contact Serial No. 295,843.

(No model.)

with the several drawers, thereby preserving the cigars in a suitably moist condition until used.

It is obvious that the moistenirig-chamber may occupy any convenient position in the cabinet.

E E are doors to the case, which may be locked to prevent the openingol' the drawers.

As ordinarily packed, cigars are liabl Flo be injured by dust and insects and to become dried, thereby injuring the flavor of the cigar, even though it is afterward moistened before using. y improved cigar-cabinet does away with these objections, allows a large number of cigars to be packed in a package for shipment, the cabinet serving the retailer as a show-case, and also preserving the cigars moist and fresh and clean from dust and insects until the cigars are used. ohcapl y manufactured, so that a new cabinet may be sent with each order of cigars, and when a cabinet is emptied it maybe used for some other purpose or thrown aside.

I claim A tobaccoanoistening cabinet consisting of a case A, provided with vertical partitions a and horizontal supporting-pieces a. a covered drawers 1;, mounted therein, stops 0, moistening device I), and a moistening-ehamber C G, whereby moistened air is brought. in contact with each drawer in the case, substantially as described.
